Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> What exactly is NW_FSTYPE ?
I found in documentation for Oracle on Netware that there is parameter
called NW_FSTYPE in CONFIG.ORA file. I read that NW_FSTYPE is File
System Type and can be CLIB (standard Novell nlm) and DFS (Direct File
System).
Is there any difference between these settings ? Does Direct File System
is faster than CLIB ? What exactly is DFS ?
I changed this parameter on our Oracle server from CLIB to DFS and
noticed that there is no way to turn back to CLIB ! Why ?
